3. Definitions of Industrial Revolution Industrial Revolution: a period of increased output of goods made by machines and new inventions; a series of dramatic changes in the way of work.

5. Flying Shuttle John Kay 1733 Hand-operated machine which increased the speed of weaving

6. A machine invented by James Hargreaves in 1764 that could spin up to eight thread at time. The spinning jenny was much faster than the spinning wheel. Click on title to return to chapter 12 vocabulary list

7. Water Frame Richard Arkwright 1769 Water-powered spinning machine that was too large for use in a home – led to the creation of factories

8. Built a loom powered by water in 1780. This water loom could spin even more cloth than the spinning jenny.

12. Industrial Revolution Began around 1750 in Great Britain New machines led to the Industrial Revolution. They replaced hand labor and helped workers produce more things faster. Moving water power in rivers replaced worker’s muscle. One water wheel could turn hundreds of machines.

13. STEAM ENGINE YEAR: 1775 Steam power can move very heavy weights. It can drive wheels and shafts in mills. It can turn propellers in ships and wheels on trains James Watt

14. An original steam engine

15. Factory system Machines also started the factory system. The new machines were too large and costly to be put into a person’s home. Large buildings called factories were built to hold many of the machines. The workers in one factory manufactured more in a day than one person working in his or her home could manufacture in a lifetime.

17. Industrial Revolution Steam engines began to appear in the 1700s. This important invention used wood or coal as fuel to heat water in a boiler. Steam from the hot water powered the engine, which ran the machines. Since a steam engine could be placed anywhere, factories no longer had to be built along rivers. They could be built near fuel, raw materials, or labor.

18. Industrial Revolution As factories produced more, better transportation was needed. More canals were dug and better roads were built. Here again the steam engine was able to help. By 1830, steam locomotives began to pull trains.

19. Man of Steel: Henry Bessemer Before 1850, railroads and trains were made of iron Iron is brittle Railroads were unsafe 1850 Henry Bessemer (England) invents a way to turn iron ore into steel

20. Steel With the invention of steel, buildings could be made much taller. Steel was much harder than iron, which would bend if made too tall. The steel industry created many new products, and led to the invention of the car.

21. STEAM ENGINE YEAR: 1775 Steam power can move very heavy weights. It can drive wheels and shafts in mills. It can turn propellers in ships and wheels on trains and cars… James Watt

22. The “Rocket” Full size replica

23. Robert Fulton Steamboat Service on Hudson RiverYEAR: 1807 Service improved communication. Showed that ships with steam engines were feasible. Paved the way for larger, sea-going ships.

24. Robert Stephenson Invented Steam LocomotiveYear 1826-29 Forerunner of modern locomotives. Used steam power. Went about 30 miles per hour, which was groundbreaking for its time.

25. Samuel F. B. Morse Invented TelegraphYEAR: 1836 Made instantaneous, long range communication possible. System of wires stretched hundreds of miles. “More Code” was a special language used

28. The Role of the Railroads The railroads, built during the 1830s and 1840s: –Enabled people to leave the place of their birth and migrate easily to the cities. –Allowed cheaper and more rapid transport of raw materials and finished products. –Created an increased demand for iron and steel and a skilled labor force.
